Worcester Wolves Sign New Guard in Micah Elan

The Worcester Wolves have added to their back court ahead of the new season with the signing of guard Micah Elan.

The 6 ft 4 San Francisco native joins the Worcester Wolves off the back of his senior year playing for the Pomona-Pitzer Sagehens competing in the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference of the NCAA Division III.

Last season Elan averaged 21.6 points, 4.4 assists, 4.4 rebounds 1.1 steals and 35.9 minutes from 29 game starts. He was awarded multiple honours including Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Tournament MVP and All-First Team following an impressive final college year.

Worcester have not just added a good shooter to their roster, but a player who can take the ball to the basket very well, has great finishing ability, and is solid from the free-throw line.

Head Coach Matt Newby is excited to see what Elan can do in the BBL with the Wolves.

“The addition of Micah to our perimeter is really positive, it was clear throughout the process of recruitment that he has an appetite to further his career in Europe.

His game lends itself to our style of play and I am keen to see how he integrates with our perimeter where we will have strength in depth. He has a big opportunity to build upon a really strong collegiate career, where in his senior year he became a NCAA Division III All American which highlights his credentials.

I look forward to working with Micah and helping his game evolve.”

On beginning his professional career, Elan is ready to get on court and get to work with his new team.

“I am excited to sign with the Worcester Wolves which gives me an opportunity to compete at a high level for a great club and in a great city. I enjoyed my conversations with Coach Newby and believe the team culture and playing style will bring out the best of my game.

Playing professional basketball has been a lifelong dream and I am looking forward to developing as a player and a person and contributing to a winning culture in Worcester. I’m very grateful for this opportunity to compete with my new teammates and play for the organization and the Wolf Pack.”
